About CPD-Verified
Our Mission
Our mission is simple:
- To make education more accessible by keeping accreditation costs low.
- To improve trust in online education with objective, transparent standards.
- To support training providers and course creators in sustaining excellence over time.
We understand that high accreditation fees often get passed on to learners, making education less affordable. That’s why we focus on keeping our services cost-effective, ensuring that professional development remains within reach for everyone.
Our Story
CPD-Verified was founded to address a growing need for affordable and reliable accreditation in the fast-expanding world of online education. We recognised that many CPD accreditation providers offered professional services but charged excessive fees that created barriers for small businesses and individual course creators.
Formed by seasoned educators with myriad years of experience in the education sector, CPD-Verified took over the role of CPD Education (2016) to provide an even fairer, faster, and more affordable solution. Our team is made up entirely of trained teachers and education professionals, giving us a unique perspective on what makes a training program truly effective.
Today, CPD-Verified is proud to be a trusted partner for online course providers, language schools, in-person trainers, and many other education-based organisations.
